Hey guys
So just to let you all know i managed to arrive here safely after a solid 38 hours of travel. The first thing on my mind was a shower!!! The flight was ok from Gatwick to Dubai which took about 7 hours and then i had a three hour break before travelling from Dubai to Sydney which took a good 14 hours - painful. I wrote on the plane in my notesthat i don't think i realised quite what a big undertaking i have done but i'm here now so oh well!
Getting from the airport to the hostel was really easy i just hopped on the train although looking like a right tourist with my guidebook out and taking pictures all the way. The hostel here is gorgeous everyone is really friendly and helpful i am just about to spend my entire afternoon pestering the lovely ladies at the information desk to help me organise the rest of the trip. So accommodation wise i am not too worried - however although i knew things were going to be expensive i didn't quite understand how easy it was going to be to spend money - even just on necessities!
However - total stroke of luck - i managed to befriend Toby who is a tour guide by day :) BRILLIANT i literally couldn't have planned it better he is waiting for his group of americans to come in next week so is here early preparing. So this morning we went for a walk around Darling Harbour which is stunning - luckily i seem to have brought the sun with me from England. Everyone here is really friendly, there were boats in the marinas as well as lots of bars and restaurants littering the water front - its gorgeous :) It was also great being shown everything by someone who knows the area and can reccommend the best/cheapest places to go. Am now just planning the rest of the trip and am going for dinner with Toby so i won't be by myself!!
The only problem is if i can stay awake that long! People reccommend staying up until 9pm if you dcan before hitting the sack but that may be an issue seeing as the longest period of time i have managed to sleep over the past three days has been for an hour!
Anyway, am running down my internet credit but please message me on here/facebook/email me to let me know how you're doing and if you want to skype at all - at present i am 9 hours ahead of you guys at home! Missing you all, lots of love xxx
